Related Cast

Content Moderator Ali Luhrs knows all things “geek-speak” and “cat lady.” Ali is in charge of communicating with the animal-loving users who frequent the site. She also is a team member of the “Know Your Meme” webseries. More recently Ali contributed to ROFLympics 2012, Cheezburger’s comedic twist on the Olympic Games in London. Ali grew up in rural Washington and attended Western Washington University. A foodie who will try anything once, she makes a mean coq au vin and enjoys cooking up anything traditionally French.

Alison Monda, aka “Monda,” is the Assistant at ICanHasCheezburger.com. The Renton, WA native attended Washington State University before joining the Cheezburger team. The fraternal twin has co-hosted the “Failblog Clip Show” and “Failblog Mini Clip Show” at their sister site. Monda loves skydiving and going on solo backpacking trips in the mountains to look for her favorite animal, bears. If she could have any super power, it would be the ability to get anything for free.

Ben Huh runs ICanHasCheezburger.com, a weblog featuring lolcats (pictures of mostly cats and other animals with humorous captions, videos and user-generated memes). Ben was born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in Hong Kong, China and Sacramento, CA. He graduated from Northwestern University and founded a web analytics company before putting together an investor group to buy Cheezburger in 2007. He currently serves as CEO and runs day-to-day operations of Cheezburger, one of the largest humor publishers on the Internet, which encompasses more than 50 sites, including FAIL Blog, Memebase, and The Daily What. Combined, the sites receive over 375 million page views a month. In 2011, Ben received the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. He resides in Seattle with his wife Emily, and dog Nemo. If he could have any super power, it would be the ability to turn water into espresso. Ironically, he’s allergic to cats.

Emily Huh is much more than Ben Huh’s wife. She’s Editor in Chief of ICanHasCheezburger.com -- the boss of the creative team, and the closest thing the staff has to a company mom. Emily grew up in Colorado Springs, CO, and Los Gatos, CA. She graduated from UCLA and was Assistant Director of an educational center prior to working at Cheezburger. In 2011, Emily and Ben were recognized as Newsmakers of the Year by GeekWire. The candy-loving editorial chief’s dream come true would be to sit with Audrey Hepburn at a cafe in Belgium, discussing life, fashion, and world events over a bowl of fries and macarons.

Forest Gibson, Content Editor at Cheezburger, grew up in the small town of Yakima, WA (The Palm Springs of Washington, according to a city sign), and studied Comparative Literature and Cinema Studies at the University of Washington. Prior to Cheezburger, Forest was President of a music technology startup. A self-proclaimed “Internet Scientist,” Forest produced and starred in multiple episodes of “Know Your Meme” for the site. He has also directed videos of his own, including the viral sensation, “We’re NASA and We Know It,” which has hit over 2 million views and counting.

Paul Gude is Content Editor at Cheezburger. In addition to his work on ICanHasCheezburger.com, Paul can be seen hosting episodes of the “Failblog Clip Show” on their sister site. Paul grew up in Dorsey, IL, and attended Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and the University of Missouri at Columbia. Prior to Cheezburger, Paul worked a variety of writing jobs, including covering celebrity interviews for a social media site. He’s also started writing children’s books in his spare time. His favorite food is young coconut. Paul’s favorite restaurant is Plum Bistro in Seattle, and he hopes to get a future discount for this mention.

Todd Sawicki is the Chief Revenue Officer of the Cheezburger Network. Born and raised in Rochester, NY, Todd attended Duke University. Sawicki has over 15 years of experience with online startups, media companies, and specializes in online advertising, monetization, and user acquisition. Prior to joining Cheezburger, Todd was VP of Marketing at Lookery, a web-based ad company. He lives with his wife and two kids in Seattle. Todd is an avid ice-hockey player and his favorite animal is the orangutan.

Sarah Hiraki is an Art Director at Cheezburger. The youngest member of the staff, Sarah grew up in Seattle, WA, and has degree in Digital Design from Seattle University. She co-hosts the webseries “Know Your Meme” for the site, and is the resident graphics whiz. She enjoys video games, Pokemon, making art, and baking. While Sarah loves dogs and cats, her favorite animal is the prehistoric giant ground sloth.

Tori Wadzita is the Production Manager at Cheezburger. Tori graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in English. She collaboratively produces “Know Your Meme,” as well as runs various clients’ ad campaigns for the site. Tori had dreams of becoming a PE teacher when she was a child. Instead, she worked at Bacon Salt and Kinetix Living prior to joining Cheezburger. She swears coffee is a food group, and has been drinking the stuff since she was in 4th grade.

Will Sharick loves cats. . .a lot. As Cheezburger’s Content Supervisor, aka censor, Will ensures that every cat on the site receives the respect they deserve. The Mount Vernon, WA native attended the University of Washington and worked as the school’s Program Assistant for the Department of Global Health. Will grew up as the only guy in a household full of women. If he had a super power it would be x-ray vision (for dating purposes mostly).
